This document describes the files used to replicate results from the paper "Crowdfunding conservation (and other public goods)" by Ansink, Koetse, Bouma, Hauck, and van Soest, published in the Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists.



The package contains 7 files in addition to this README file:

- "crowddata.dta" is the Stata database with the results from the crowdfunding experiment, as described in the paper.

- "surveydata.dta" is the Stata database containing the post-experiment survey results combined with existing participant information (provided by the research consultancy Kantar TNS), as described in the paper.

- "domaster.do" is the Stata do file that is used to set the working directory, create necessary directories, and call the other three do files, "prepare.do", "tables.do", and"figures.do".

- "prepare.do" is the Stata do file that creates four new databases that are subsequently used for tests and regressions.

- "tables.do" is the Stata do file that runs the relevant tests and regressions as reported in the tables in both the paper and online appendix.

- "figures.do" is the Stata do file that prepares the data underlying the figures in both the paper and online appendix.

- "tables_figures.tex" is the Latex file used to produce all tables and figures, using the data-files that are saved in the directories "tabledata" and "figuredata".



Replication instructions:

1. Change the working directory in line 18 of the "domaster.do" file to the directory where the replication files were downloaded.

2. Run "domaster.do" in Stata (the code was prepared in Stata 16.1). Three directories are created. Directory "tempdata" contains the databases. Data underlying the tables is saved in directory "tabledata". Data underlying the figures is saved in directory "figuredata". 

3. Run "tables_figures.tex" in Latex (the code was prepared with backward compatibility to pgfplots version 1.12). All tables and figures included in the paper and online appendix are saved in file "tables_figures.pdf".
